Summary: The widespread use of silver in nanomaterials leads to increased environmental contamination, posing a threat to aquatic animals. This study examines how silver affects the osmoregulatory abilities of euryhaline fish, using medaka embryos as a model. The results show that silver has higher toxicity in freshwater, impairing ionocytes and elevating heart rates.

Summary: Euryhaline teleosts undergo significant renal function changes when transitioning between freshwater and seawater environments, adapting to fluctuations in salinity. Studies have described basic patterns at the organismal level, but recent research has focused on regulation at the cell and molecular level, with a particular emphasis on renal transporters. Future research should aim to integrate changes in renal reabsorption and ion secretion with transporter function at the cellular and molecular level in different regions of the nephrons.

Summary: In this study, the osmoregulatory response of large yellow croaker to low water salinity was investigated. The survival rate of large yellow croaker was stable within a specific salinity range, and the NKA activity in the kidney and gill was regulated by salinity variations. Furthermore, the expression of PRLR, NHE beta, and NCC genes were also associated with salinity changes.

Summary: In euryhaline fish, prolactin (Prl) plays a crucial role in freshwater acclimation. Different transcription factor modules (TFMs) are involved in regulating prl transcription at varying salinities, and collectively they modulate the responses of Prl cells to changes in extracellular osmolality. This study provides insights into the complex molecular regulation of osmosensitive Prl cells in euryhaline teleosts.

Summary: Inspired by euryhaline fish, researchers have constructed sandwich-structured nanochannel systems that can adapt to changing salinities. These systems have been used to develop high-performance salinity-gradient power generators. The adaptive membrane solves the surface charge-shielding problem caused by high salinity and improves the overlapping degree of the electric double layer.

Summary: Acute low-salinity stress leads to stress responses in black seabream, but with time, the fish show signs of adaptation to the environmental change. Low salinity stress increases the synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the gills, enhancing the fish's osmoregulation ability.

Summary: Ecologists have observed declines in the biodiversity of sensitive freshwater organisms in response to increasing salinization, but the physiological challenges faced by aquatic organisms, such as mayflies, are not well studied. This study used proteomics to identify specific proteins associated with ion transport in mayfly gills and investigate how their abundance changes in response to chronic salinity exposure. The research found differential protein expression in gills under different salinity conditions, and also explored non-transport related pathways in the gills. The study highlights the importance of understanding the impacts of salinization on non-model species.

Summary: Salinization of freshwater affects freshwater insects' osmoregulatory physiology, causing stress and impaired development even though they can tolerate it to a certain extent. Further research is needed to understand the physiological mechanisms for controlling salt and water balance in freshwater insects in order to predict the consequences of salinization for freshwater ecosystems.

Summary: Using single cell transcriptomics, two distinct prolactin-expressing cell types were discovered in Japanese medaka. Small satellite lactotrope cell clusters were also found in the medaka pituitary, which develop early during development and increase in cell number throughout life. These satellite clusters are not directly related to the stem cell-like lactotropes.

Summary: This study investigates the adaptive evolutionary characteristics in euryhaline bivalves through comparative genomics analyses. The results reveal positive selection in genes related to solute transport, antioxidant response, energy metabolism, and membrane lipids adjustments. These findings enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the remarkable salinity adaption of euryhaline bivalves.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of salinity and dietary cholesterol levels on the physiological regulation, cholesterol metabolism, fatty acid composition, and stress responses of black seabream. The results showed that feeding black seabream with 1.0% cholesterol diet in low salinity improved osmoregulation, increased cholesterol synthesis, and reduced degradation. It also promoted the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and attenuated oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Summary: This study investigates the physiological responses of euryhaline fish to tidal and unidirectional changes in salinity. It finds that fish can compensate for continuous and marked changes in salinity, maintain stable osmoregulatory parameters, and exhibit similar branchial ionocyte populations to fish adapted to seawater. Furthermore, there is a shift in the regulation of prolactin signaling from systemic to local modulation in response to changing salinity.

Summary: This study investigated the adaptive transcriptomic response of Penaeus indicus to low salinity, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying osmoregulation and immune response in shrimps. RNA-seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes involved in lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, glycolysis, and signaling pathways. The findings were validated using quantitative real-time PCR.

Summary: This study established a database of molecular species identification for fish populations in the Sea of Galilee using DNA barcoding. It found discrepancies between morphological and molecular species identification, suggesting the need for redefining certain species. The study provides a foundation for using molecular tools to monitor fish populations, understand their ecology, and effectively manage conservation efforts.
